Ask your question!

I'm using macos and use XDG_*_HOME envs for trying to keep all my configs and data safe and clean.

For a long time, i used XDG_CONFIG_HOME with it's well-known default value ~/.config and everything works just fine, cause wezterm's config placed in ~/.config/wezterm/wezterm.lua.

And recently i've tried to move my XDG_CONFIG_HOME into different place and according this (https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/files.html#configuration-files) scheme, wezterm should load configs like nothing happened.

But it doesn't work - wezterm starts with default configs, ignoring new config location.

Interesting, that in opened wezterm (with default configs one), if i'd start another instance via cli (without extra flag nor WEZTERM_CONFIG_FILE env), new instance will find it's own config in XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wezterm/wezterm.lua. (i know that it's because macos starts apps without login into shell, so it doesn't know about envs in user-space)

So here is the question - if wezterm is able to hot reload configuration on file change, why it can't check all declared configs path during startup including user login into shell or check them after startup?

Am i missing something in docs or does it really look like there is no way to move wezterm.lua anywhere except ~/.config/wezterm/wezterm.lua or ~/.wezterm.lua for macos?
